Faulkner Proves
He Is Exception
As a Novelist
"William Faulkner proving to
be an exception among American
novelists made a major comeback
with "The Mansion" so pointed
out Dr. Dale C. Hesser in his re-
view of the novel last night in
West Gardner parlor.
Dr. Hesser associate professor
of English ' said that although
"The Mansion's" reviews immedi-
ately after its publication in 1059
were not favorable the book is
now considered the "crown of his
creativity."
THE PURPOSE of "The Man-
sion" like several of Faulkner's
former works Is to show that
man can prevail over evil and
anguish.
Flcm Snopes and Gavin Stevens
represent the leading forces in
the plot. Flcm Snopes depicts the
Amnrlrin cn1f-mni mnn nc hi
Is willing to do anything to be-
live in "the mansion.''
Gavin Stevens is an intelligent
lawyer and country attorney who
tries to understand and to defeat
"Snyopesism."
IN THE CONCLUSION of the
book Flem Snopes is killed by
a member of his own family
which Dr. Hesser suggests might
mean that .aggressive evil helps
to destroy itself.
However Faulkner does not
give a definite conclusion as to
who wins the struggle between
Snopes and Stevens
A prominent thought of the
book is "man should trust in God

could have a club too. When
social clubs dlnrtcd on the Abi-
lene Christian campus member-
ship in them was limited to those
who lived In the dorms. The first
name was Lucky 13 then in 1932
the members changed their name
to P.A.L.E. because they didn't
want to limit the number to just
13 girls. In 1944 the name was
changed again to Delta Theta.
On November 11 1934 the first
club for town girls and hall girls
was formed the Oadcttcs. Cad-
dies are military tn theme em-
phasizing the military colors plat-
inum and blue. It's officers are
assigned military titles in rank-
ing order beginning with the
6cneral. The pledges are desig-
nated as "Privates" until after
their formal Initiation Cadottcs
are always striving to uphold the
purpose for which they were or
ganized: to promqte a feeling of
carefree happiness tempered with
the spirit of duty and service.
Trojans started Btit with the
name Twin-Six but In 1930 it
changed its name'to Trojans. The
club stayed active from 1930-1954.
Then it disbanded until 1958
when it was reorganized. The
j original purpose was to aid the
I college in everyway possible.
